People
who know me know I am very particular about my bread pudding. I like a nice
creamy center with plenty of sauce – and hold the raisins, please! So, when I
stopped by Banana Cabana Pool Bar at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort,
I just had to try the Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding with caramel sauce
and ice cream. My kind of bread pudding – delicious!
